| I am working with a designer to find plans for my lot but I need some inspiration pictures to show her. After much back and forth, I've determined that my wife prefers hip roofs and really dislikes gables and dormers. I have been unable to find any good examples of what we're after on Houzz or other places. I am looking for either just exterior pictures or full plans from a plan site. Here are some specifics: - Around 3000-3200 sq ft
- No two story entries or great rooms
- Plan to do a combination of stone and siding
- On a wooded lot - We've seen some interesting all-brick colonials with a hip roof but do not feel they would look very good on our wooded lot (subdivision but all lots are around 5 acres and you can only clear trees within 75 ft of the home site)
- Prefer side-load garage but negogiable |

House is about 2150 square feet. Not as big as your house. |
